Thread: Where are the plugs?

I bought a used Bluebird aerator, #530a, off ebay 2 months ago, hoping I could generate some additional business. Well, the snow in Denver, CO has FINALLY melted off my lawn, so I tried a few passes with it. I am disappointed at the lack of plugs it produced. I cleaned out the tines before running it, and it did put holes in the lawn, but very few plugs were pulled.

Fortunately we've received some nice, above average warm weather of late, and the ground has thawed nicely. Wells Lawncare has suggested that the ground is so wet that the tines are pushing the soil deeper instead of pulling plugs. I'm thinking this is the case.
